- You may have noticed that every time you tweak…the position animation of your camera, you have to…go back and also adjust your rotation keyframes.…This gets even worse when you have a fast moving…or erratic subject.…We can avoid some of that headache by automatically…driving our cameras rotation with a target tag.…For example, compare this scene with a moving camera…to this one right here, where we have the same moving camera…where it's been adjusted to always focus on our figure.…

Camera moves can elevate any project, from effects-laden video composites to simple static models. Here Donovan Keith shows how to adjust camera placement and motion in CINEMA 4D in order to increase the impact of your visual storytelling. Watch as he shows how to animate simple pans and push-ins with keyframes, build custom camera rigs, and mimic classic camera moves from film and television with the Camera Crane, Motion Camera, and Camera Morph objects. At the end of the course, you'll be able to pick the right movement for the shot, move cameras in a physically plausible way, and adjust the timing of your animation for maximum impact.
